So it looks like you _were_ able to re-index from scratch?

BTW, to be absolutely safe I'd re-index to a _new_ collection and
then, perhaps, use
collection aliasing to switch seamlessly. I've seen situations where
when some segments think fieldX has docValues and some don't it can be
a problem.

OTOH, if you define a _new_ field with docValues, that's no problem.

And if it worked for you, it worked.....

Best,
